Allowing Access to Approved Apps

[Guest Grant]

I am looking for someone to point me in the right direction, please.

 

I understand how you can give a user access to on particular application

through Group Policy. What I am wondering is if you can give users access to

a group of five applications, which they can choose from. I am hoping to not

give them access to the desktop at all, just a menu group of the approved

apps.

 

Is that possible? Any tips on that would be very helpful.

 

Thanks,

 

Grant

try to launch a batch file like that :

 

@ECHO OFF

REM - LABEL INDICATING THE BEGINNING OF THE DOCUMENT.

:BEGIN

CLS

 

ECHO 1 Exit

ECHO 2 Calc

ECHO 3 Notepad

 

REM - THE BELOW LINE GIVES THE USER 3 CHOICES (DEFINED AFTER /C:)

 

CHOICE /N /C:123 /M "PICK A NUMBER (1, 2, or 3)"%1

 

REM - THE NEXT THREE LINES ARE DIRECTING USER DEPENDING UPON INPUT

IF ERRORLEVEL ==3 GOTO THREE

IF ERRORLEVEL ==2 GOTO TWO

IF ERRORLEVEL ==1 GOTO ONE

GOTO END

:THREE

notepad.exe

GOTO BEGIN

:TWO

calc.exe

GOTO BEGIN

:ONE

exit

:END

exit
